Megan Moroney called out a “heartbreaker” in the lyrics of an unreleased song that she shared on TikTok on Monday (June 2).
Moroney set the scene of an emotional split around November 2019 that left her “barely alive.” Though she admitted it sounds “dramatic,” the reigning Country Music Association New Artist of the Year said she “survived,” and received a call from her ex several months later:
“Let me set you the scene/ November circa 2019/ Put a hole in my heart, watched it bleed/ You said that we were better off as strangers/ I was barely alive/ Out of 6 feet deep I was 5/ Pretty sure they called a hearse outside/ OK that’s dramatic, but I survived/ Then I survived…
“The ‘hey Meg, I think I want you back’/ ‘I’m a couple drinks in thinking it’s my bad that I let you walk away and let you go’/ It’s a tale as old as time I guess/ When you couldn’t care more I couldn’t care less/ You’re a little too late to the party, heartbreaker/ What doesn’t kill you calls you 6 months later”
Moroney hasn’t announced the anthem’s release date as of publication time.
The Emo Cowgirl’s latest song to release is “You Had Yo Be There,” a collaboration with Kenny Chesney that she wrote as a Christmas gift to him. The lyrics mark a full circle moment for Moroney, who sat in section 312 when she attended Chesney’s concert in May 2018 at Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Georgia. Seven years later, she had a “different point of view” when she opened for the country megastar on his headlining stadium tour.
Moroney’s latest studio album is Am I Okay?, her highly-anticipated sophomore record that arrived last summer. she expanded it a few months later with three additional tracks on the deluxe edition, Am I Okay? (I’ll Be Fine). It was a powerful follow-up to Moroney’s breakout debut, Lucky, and its deluxe edition in 2023. See the singer-songwriter’s latest teaser here:
